Ya know its funny how so many victimize us miniorities and call whites evil n such. I mean come on. some might say "You're native, you can't support a group that stole your people's land". Well honestly most of it was won in fiar combat. Yes some was taken in bad treaties... but no race is perfect. We also did a lot of village raiding ourselves. NTM the title "savages" was earned. you might know one of my tribes, called the "Cherokees". You know, the ones with the huge casino and most of yall are like 1/64th or whatever. They literally ate babbies. Human ones, other tribes, and I hear at times their own. so yeah, we we're savages like it or not. Then look at the thing about "OH, what about us enslaving the blacks? We were a horrible race for that" LOL, yall are cute. Slaves have been a factor in just about every culture in history. only countries that ddint have em are those that sprung up a few years ago. NTM it wasn't only ...
nuclear blast primary effects

he Blast Wave A fraction of a second after a nuclear explosion, the heat from the fireball causes a high-pressure wave to develop and move outward producing the blast effect. The front of the blast wave, i.e., the shock front, travels rapidly away from the fireball, a moving wall of highly compressed air. The effects of the blast wave on a typical wood framed house. The air immediately behind the shock front is accelerated to high velocities and creates a powerful wind. These winds in turn create dynamic pressure against the objects facing the blast. Shock waves cause a virtually instantaneous jump in pressure at the shock front. The combination of the pressure jump (called the overpressure) and the dynamic pressure causes blast damage. Both the overpressure and the dynamic pressure reach to their maximum values upon the arrival of the shock wave. They then decay over a period ranging from a few tenths of a second to several seconds, depending on the blast's strength and ...

Effects of Radiation on the Human Body Click on a number to learn about the effects of radiation on the body (1) Hair The losing of hair quickly and in clumps occurs with radiation exposure at 200 rems or higher. (2) Brain Since brain cells do not reproduce, they won't be damaged directly unless the exposure is 5,000 rems or greater. Like the heart, radiation kills nerve cells and small blood vessels, and can cause seizures and immediate death. (3) Thyroid The certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types of radiation sources. The thyroid gland is susceptible to radioactive iodine. In sufficient amounts, radioactive iodine can destroy all or part of the thyroid. By taking potassium iodide, one can reduce the effects of exposure. (4) Blood System When a person is exposed to around 100 rems, the blood's lymphocyte cell count will be reduced, leaving the victim more susceptible to infection. This is often refered to as mild ...

The number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly since the Cold War: down from a peak of approximately 70,300 in 1986 to an estimated 14,900 in early-2017. Government officials often portray that accomplishment as a result of current arms control agreements, but the overwhelming portion of the reduction happened in the 1990s. Moreover, comparing today’s inventory with that of the 1950s is like comparing apples and oranges; today’s forces are vastly more capable. The pace of reduction has slowed significantly. Instead of planning for nuclear disarmament, the nuclear-armed states appear to plan to retain large arsenals for the indefinite future. Click on graph to view full size Despite progress in reducing Cold War nuclear arsenals, the world’s combined inventory of nuclear warheads remains at a very high level: approximately 14,930 warheads as of mid-2017. Of these, roughly 9,400 are in the military stockpiles (the rest are ...
